Memorial Website - bernard harris riffle jr

I only remember two kisses - the first and the last.
The first, with my love and the last, with death.
The first brought happiness and the last relief! Srijit Prabhakaran

This memorial website was created to remember our dearest Bernard Harris Riffle Jr who was born in Statesville NC on August 31, 1991 and passed away on August 31, 1991. You will live forever in our memories and hearts. BABY TEARS We never heard your first cry,

Never wiped the teardrops from your eyes,

And though our hearts grieve , and we are bereft,

We carry your teardrop , they are all we have left....

We carry them with us , tucked next to our heart ,

Your memory with us always,

We are never apart....

LITTLE BABY

Little fingers

Tiny toes

Baby scent

Button nose

Little baby growing tall

I will catch you when you fall

You'll grow up now wait and see

One day you be as big as me

You are my life

You are my soul

I'll protect you

I'll pay the toll

Little fingers

Tiny toes

Baby scent

Button nose

Death leaves a heartache

No one can heal

Love leaves a memory

No one can steal

ONLY THE BEST

A heart of gold stopped beating,

Two shining eyes at rest,

God broke our hearts to prove,

He only takes the best.

God knows you had to leave us,

But you did not go alone,

For part of us went with you,

The day He took you home.

To some you are forgotten ,

To others just part of the past,

But to us who loved and lost you,

The memory will always last.

Daddy, please don't look so sad,

Mommy , please dont cry,

"Cause I am in the arms of Jesus,

And he sings me lullabies"

Please , try not to queation God,

Don't think He is unkind,

Don't think He sent me to you ,

And then He changed his mind,

You see, I am a special child ,

And I'm needed up above,

I'm the special gift you gave Him,

The product of your love,

I'll always be there with you,

And watch the sky at night,

Find the brightest star thats gleaming,

That's my halo's brilliant light,

You'll see me in the morning frost,

That mist your window pane,

That's me in the summer showers,

I'll be dancing in the rain,

When you feel a little breeze,

From a gentle wind that blows,

That's me I'll be there,

Planting a kiss on your nose,

When you see a child playing,

And your heart feels a little tug,

That's me I'll be there,

Giving your heart a hug,

So Daddy, please don't look so sad,

Mama don't cry,

I'm in the arms of Jesus,

And He sings me lullabies.
